Mario Molins (1983, Binéfar, Huesca, Spain), holds a degree in Fine Arts from the University of Barcelona, along with doctoral studies. He is a multidisciplinary artist with an inquisitive spirit and a deep connection to Nature. His extensive exhibition career, along with multiple mentions and awards, includes the 2016 recognition by the Association of Art Critics of Aragón as the best Aragonese artist under 35 years old.
At the core of Ferry Benjamin’s practice is his mastery of the manual plasma cutter. This industrial tool, traditionally reserved for heavy manufacturing, becomes in his hands an instrument of sublime precision and expression. Benjamin cuts through dense steel with the dexterity of a painter wielding a fine brush, transforming the unyielding material into intricate lattices that mimic organic forms. The result is a body of work that blurs the line between the natural and the industrial.
In the vivid, scintillating world of Lynn Movish’s art, each vintage lunchbox transformed into a bedazzled art piece is not just a container but a portal to a fantastical universe. Her collection, featuring repurposed metal lunchboxes intricately adorned with Austrian crystals, presents a unique intersection of nostalgia, luxury, and imaginative expression, positioning Movish as a visionary in the fusion of art and fashion.
Sculpture is my most common form of expression, but I consider myself a multifunctional artist. In many cases I describe life with deep emotions. Depending on the moment and state of the creative process, I always play intuitively with spontaneity. Also for me, the line transmuted into wire is the personal representation of my ideas and thoughts. A line that, curving, twisting and undulating, seeks to find its own space from the inside. These lines suggestive power transmits moods, thus building a personal language.
“I became aware that I have a responsibility for what I release into the world around me. Artists used to be educators. My desire is to take a step back to a time when art was subservient to its spiritual and pedagogical purpose.”
For me it is natural to see ‘things’ in nature, in a stone, in a dry or burnt tree and then give it form and soul. For me it is normal to spend hours in my forest creating new installations, or tending to the present ones, subjected to the inclement weather, and it is easy to explain the motto chosen at the beginning of the artistic path created in my garden, which, taken from an opera by Verdi, says; ‘it is either a joke or madness’.
American sculptor, Craig Robb has spent most of his life in Colorado. His art has been exhibited and collected across the country. He graduated with honors from the University of Colorado at Denver. His art is sculptural wall work made mainly with wood, steel and acrylics. With these materials, he plays with movement, balance and space. He utilizes found objects represented alone or assembled with others relying on their inherent symbology or histories to create stories.
The themes in my work are often inspired by the feminine nature that comes from within, as a woman and a mother. Many of my sculptures depict female subjects created to empower and inspire the feminine balance in this world. The sacred feminine is the essence of life, a symbol of creation, unconditional love, resilience and hope.
Tinamaria Marongiu is a Sardinian sculptor who has made waste material her most intimate artistic signature. A pioneer of COMPACT ART, an expression that translated into art in 2013, she invents a specific way of creating 3D art, combining old waste materials and new materials, inorganic and organic, metals, pastes and colors, which, when joined together, become a single and compact body, fragments of the universe and events of our existence.
Arimathea Pappas is a name that will resonate deeply in the contemporary art world, a contemporary mixed media artist whose work transcends the physical realm into a space where nature, spirituality, and human consciousness merge. Her pieces, as seen in the collection presented, invite viewers into a visceral, almost primal connection with the land and spiritual traditions of the First Nations. This is not just art; it is a communion between earth, material, and soul.
I feel myself change as I look at an object of beauty. It has calmed me from childhood, the blue shadows on the snow, and the sparkling raindrops on leaves. The late great Canadian encaustic painter, Tony Scherman, said that you know it’s beauty because there’s pain in it. This is my experience also. Sometimes, you can’t look away. My only explanation is that it is something divine.
Ali Rouse's artistic creations are a profound reflection on the concepts of animism, shamanism, and the eternal cycle of life, death, and rebirth. Her work presents an awe-inspiring symbiosis between animal remains and ornate craftsmanship, giving new life to what was once part of the wild. Each piece is a tribute to the spirit of the animal and the materials sourced from nature, interweaving them into a complex narrative of existence, transformation, and permanence.
GUIL works mainly in the field of public sculpture and installation in outdoor spaces. He has a predilection for abstract emotional geometry. He is inspired by nature itself, which he explores mathematically and transforms it with the desire to subvert its apparent forms, those of the human imagination, and the notion of proportion in sculpture. It belongs to the avant-garde of the second half of the 20th century in Andalusia. He has received numerous awards in national and international art competitions for Public Sculpture and Singular Architecture.
Marian Sava’s sculptural works are a modern homage to the silent yet profound dialogue between material and immaterial realms. His sculptures are not just forms chiseled into existence; they are the culmination of invisible vibrations made tangible, serving as indestructible witnesses to the powerful emotions and intense feelings that encapsulate the human experience.
Your artistic credo suggests a deep belief in the communicative power of art. Can you share an instance where you felt your work deeply connected with an audience, effectively conveying its intended message?
My sculptures do not hide anything, the message is all the easier to receive as the viewer intuits the greatness of Greek mythology and the digital pulse of the new era, having the revelation of the lasting dialogue between classic and modern, static and dynamic, and corporeal and abstract from my sculptures.

Dina Torrans' sculptures emerge as profound statements within the contemporary art world, a unique amalgamation of material mastery and conceptual depth. Her work transcends the traditional boundaries of sculpture, embracing an environmental and philosophical narrative that is both urgent and timeless. Torrans has carved out a space that is distinctly her own, where the tactile nature of sculpture meets the intangible qualities of human experience.
Your work blurs the lines between art, architecture, craft, and design. How do you navigate these overlapping domains in your creative process?
For me, the artificial separation of art, architecture, craft and design does not exist. My work includes objects from functional vessel to abstract sculpture, from the tiny to the 3 tonne steel sculpture, from the curious to the spiritual. I let myself drift by following my artistic intention and sometimes create a work of art that is also suitable for everyday use, or a design object with artistic properties. That's why it's sometimes difficult to categorise them clearly.
Timothy Carter's oeuvre in the realm of sculpture emerges as a contemporary homage to the ethos of minimalism and the long-standing tradition of monumental sculpture. His works, characterized by their monumental scale and the bold use of industrial materials, assert a presence that is both unyielding and evocative. The use of steel not only references the modernist fascination with industrialism but also imbues his sculptures with a sense of timelessness and durability.
